Impressive Cloudy Streak for Stateline

The sun has been pretty elusive around the Stateline the last month or so. Now that we finally have some sunshine back in the forecast this week, the National Weather Service in Chicago is putting our cloudy weather in perspective.

From November 1st to December 14th, the weather observation station at the Rockford International Airport has reported cloudy or mostly cloudy skies 80% of the time. That's more than 35 days of cloudy skies.

This past week (Dec. 7-14th) was even worse. Rockford reported cloudy skies a whopping 97% of the time.

At least the forecast is looking much better for everyone who loves the sun. Mostly to partly sunny skies will be in the forecast starting Wednesday and continuing through next week. -BA
